I’m slowly catching up on all this good stuff from the past month or so when I haven’t been around substack. I loved BEEF also, but have felt strange recommending a show that is so violent and emotionally fraught, with seemingly no way out. Good catch to talk about Lady Rokujō though! The road rage incident! Now I know I make more sense than I thought! Thanks for putting this out there, you’re so great at connecting the dots!
Such an interesting quality of our humanity to investigate. That anger -- whether it be a rage of the collective psyche, or the moment of the instant's experience -- takes on the physical weight of our being -- gravitas -- in a way that immediately is itself of us. Joy and pleasure seem to be connected so differently that the fine thread spun by eros is perhaps mere hint of the gravitas of life distinguished from death, yet not so indistinguishable that the veil of breath is freely expressed. And now, thanks to our sponsor "Desire To Be The Want of Here", now I don't know what the hell I am talking about! Lol!

Thank you so much! I love the show but I had a lot of problems understanding the gratuitous violence until I kind of started thinking about Genji!
